Slayer - Read Between The Lies Lyrics

They're talking about the apocalypse they're talking about how do we treat each other there a Christian band he took all the words from the Bible and just took it hard core

90th is best for metal......... how many groups ............ many words here

Evangelist you claim God speaks through you,
Your restless mouth full of lies gains popularity.
You care not for the old that suffer,
When empty pockets cry from hunger.

Penniless from their generosity,
Sharing their money to quench your greed.
Searching for the answer to their prayers
They cry their last wish of need.
Save me.

His spirit lives and breathes in me.
The almighty transformed to your screen.
The meanings lost in its translation,
No holy words, describe his deception.

You say you'll help us find the lord,
Tell me preacher how do you know
A simple quest for a visible savior,
To lead us through our final prayer.
Save me.

Send your donations,
Contribute to the cause.
Luxuries,
Your righteous reward?

Praise the lord, praise god,
Is what you wish to sell.
There is no heaven without a hell.

In your mind's eye could you truly believe,
That by giving you can save your soul,
Could you be so naive!
You heal the sick, [you] raise the dead,
You blind the congregation
With the things you say.

Religious blackmail a deceit of trust,
That death will come and all will be lost.

Can you hear the serpents call,
Look deep in those deceiving eyes.
Ignore the writing on the wall,
You should read between the lies.

When doubt subsides his honesty,
An inquiry, is it blasphemy?
Impure the soul, that's made to suffer,
No sermons left to hide or cover,
An empty promise, lie unfulfilled,
To steal a dream or get it killed.
They claim your trip to heavens nearby,
You may believe it but Satan wouldn't lie.

GREAT SONG!!😈I know people like this. Sad...

Funny they are they're Christian they're talking about the apocalypse pick a side

there is no heaven without a hell

there is street corner without your mother!!!!HAHA : €

jesus saves lol

Eric West

Eric West from sd

man made up heaven

I must Confess...... this is my favorite Slayer song, and I'm not Catholic

Beginning sounds like rap. Probably because they were with Def Jam, a hip hop record company

+Scott Velez Slayer has a lot of rap influence. Listen to bitter peace or Disciple. It's literally borderline nu metal or rap metal

How does it sound like rap? They play instruments.

Probably not

How does this not have millions of views?

You asked.

Who knows. This song is so bad ass!!!

It's probably split between 100 other uploads of this song and this album. Plus any metal-head with a dick owns a copy.

I love Slayer , this is probably one of the best.it is about the apocalypse, pick a side

HOW IN THE FUCK DO YOU GET 7 DISLIKES??? FUCKING HATERS IS ALL THEY ARE HAHAHA this track is badass and one ov my favs-haters always gonna hate

Awesome song, Hannemen wrote most of this album, I think their best.

Awesome song, Hannemen wrote most of this album, I think their best.

Love this song

IN YOU'RE MINDS EYE COULD YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT FORGIVEN YOU CAN SAVE YOUR SOUL.

+Shitty Bill Could you be so naive

+Klistern2 Haha,10 points for effort

+Chris Schelberg

Haha, negative... -2 points for trying, & -8 for failing & fucking up... "could you truly believe, that BY GIVING you could save your....."

You're too nice. lol

Это школа игры на гитаре,если вы играете,вообще стоит послушать....

This is more about false religions. If there is a preacher or priest living wealthy and the congregation is broke. It's obvious it's more about helping the preacher than the preacher helping them. Taking enlightening scriptures and using it for personal agenda

+Robert Kamphuis im not supporting christianity but i do think that is why jesus flipped some tables and shit

"more about false religions"... To make any division between one or another of them, or any sect of any of them, of which Christianity has 33,000, and that are passed on through the scripture of any man or men in a book and propose one is more false than the other is the naivety that slayer writes about in this and others. There's a sum total of the songs with reoccurring themes to them. Many highly successful artists use the music and marketability of radical appearance, and then literally shout to people to fucking wake up to the lies of written religion. The anti-christ theme they use sells and grabs attention. They aren't Satan worshippers, they just use the intrigue to reach more people. This is why Christians whether evangelists or other used to attack them and other bands like them. Because they were afraid the message would stick, which it really didn't.

Think of this, if you were asked or told to do something that felt morally wrong by the owner of Google, you'd probably give him the finger. But if that same agenda was given spiritual approval and portrayed as divine will, well,.. people throughout history have felt spiritually justified while committing absolute atrocity to others over and over again.

Read between the lies...

"Satan would not lie".

uncletomsrice you should read between the lies

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this sounded like Tom was sorta rapping in the beginning. I'm a hip hop, metal, grunge, and rap fan. This is one of my most favorite songs by Slayer not because it sounds like rap, but because it just sounds awesome!

Slayer is musicians playing instruments. Nothing like rap and hip hop.

The Doom You apparently aren't aware of The Beastie Boys or The Roots

Slayer You'd have gained from thee joy

Studio version ?  :-)
  ass version ?  zeppmannn9933 are stupid ?  Muheheheheee

I thought it was '' Read  Between the lines '' oh god why lol

it is, isn't it???????

Me too. Maybe it's deliberately double-meaning.

Pretty sure it's a play on words of that saying.

Holy shit

@Joe Davies its read between the LIES

Tom Araya is one of the most kind hearted people out there. So what about the people out there that say metal heads are evil and full of hate? their retarted and dont know shit.

+Syrus Opliger 😂

Tom Araya has a big sense of humor, and people throw tomatoes. They say he's Christian, take Nicki Minaj for instance, Is waving your bum infront of a camera Christian either? All the songs that have true meaning are either in metal/rock or in Classical, pop songs are just about shitty parties where boys love girls and no mosh pits. Fuck pop, fuck the true Satanists, metalheads are not Satanists

Brett Sheehan They see the cover art and assume the worst.

Brett Sheehan and you don't know grammar

Brett Sheehan agree wholeheartedly Brett

Satan wrote this rap himself.  He told me.

One of Slayer's most underrated songs, and one of my favorite overall.

I have to agree,of all the songs .is probably the best.

It's about the apocalypse

They're Christian they went with the Bible they just made it hard core

Definitely not at his best. Killer tune though.

Totally fuckin' awesome song, Jeff H at his best!!!

2:05 OMFG!!!! This riff kick ass

RIP JEFF

Are they the kind of uber Christians that label Metal as "The Devil's Music"?

It certainly is rhythmic, 'tis what makes it my favorite. Rhythmic and ancient.

RIP JEFF

kick ass song,hail evil slayer...

May sound as fuckin' blasphemy, but here Araya is rapping!!!!

May sound us always

I often quote lines from this song since I'm 15.

PLEASE take me back in time!!!!!!

Fucking awesome!!

I fucking LOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this album. >.< Fuck.

kidding;)

r u kinding?

"Reign in blood", "South of heaven" and "Seasons in the abyss" are the true Holy Trinity.

If you didn't know South of heaven is about a . abortion . Will keep God from coming back. No immaculate conception. They are out of their damn mind,God wants to come back , Satan can't stop him.

That deals with revelation

Even scarier

Two people cant read between the lies.

What an opening riff, instant katharsis

GOD LISTENS TO SLAYER!!!!!!!! \m/

Makes me want to break stuff in a very violent manner

Do that.... N spew domestic violence... Y dont u take that destructive energy n spend it at the gym... Turn it to something positive

very underrated slayer song

What a great song.... from a fantastic album !!!!

kickass!

God love this song....this song kicks ASSS!!!!!!!!!

Here u go????

FUCKING SLAYER

I love how he says "blasphemy" :D

la forma de cantar es identica a " you better you bet " de THE WHO ....

isnt it called read between the lies?

The best one and probably the most blasphamous :D

dood this song is titled incorrectly what the fuck you been smokin buddy LOOK CLOSER

@nightm0nkey i know my friend...but this has something special....

@kaleng123456 Every Slayer album is a masterpiece my friend.

can someone clear something up for me... I really like Slayer's music although this is my 1st 10 minutes listening to them they ound really good, but i keep seeing ll this shit about religion and whatever. now im not particularly religious, but do these guys preach hell or whatever, or hate on christianism or are they just aggresive lyrics? Im not too comfortable with satanist shit so as long as these guys aint satanist ill listen. Anyways can sum1 just giv me a straight answer. Straight.

The riff sounds a little bit close to Raining Blood

@MISTYPOWELL god aint got shit on me

good job!!! love it!!!!
